We were able to book in another caravan park which is off the beach called the something bush land caravan park.
They were the only ones with vacancy in robe but we booked about 2 months ago.

I'm the damn lanb again. No car to get there. The last 2 times I missed out were awsome from what I heard, so this could be another good one. Enjoy....
Sold it. Ordered new one early Feb, but not ready until May! Looking into the hire, bringing the family if I come so it wouldn't be a van...
Yeah the car dealers are good at selling you a new car telling you there in stock until the day after phone call - oh we made a mistake - its on the boat from japan - be here in a few weeks.
Have fun in Robe unfortunately I will be the second sacrificial lamb - if your on the Longbeach caravan park waiting list I'd give them a call after lunch !!!!!
Luckily I am in at the Robe Motel, I just can't get there at the moment. Looking at hiring something as suggested by Scotty. Hope I can get a reasonably priced larger thing with a towbar....
